Description of some molecular bonding providing energy in vacant lot, possibly (10)
I believe the answer is:
octavalent
'description of some molecular bonding' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'energy in vacant lot possibly' is the wordplay.
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'vacant'+'lot'='vacantlot'
'vacantlot' with letters rearranged gives 'octavalnt'.
'e' going within 'octavalnt' is 'OCTAVALENT'.
'providing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
